Pros:

Благодарю за потрясающий отдых. Комната была очень чистая, просторная и с большим окном. Персонал был гостеприимным и доброжелательным, спасибо за вашу заботу. Здесь прекрасный сад, кафе с видом на горы и атмосфера уединения и домашнего уюта. Да, это далековато от центра, но зачем вам центр? Там шумно и не чего делать. Однозначно рекомендую это место.

A beautiful large home stay with an amazing dining hall
Pros:

The room was spacious. The view was on the lush greenery. The manager was super friendly, the staff was amazing. They gave me a welcome chai and the best room, and allowed me to use the meeting room downstairs. They also accommodated my 6:30 am departure and gave me a packed breakfast. Also, their dining hall is a work of art, beautiful and comfortable both during the day and in the evening when the music is playing and the lights are twinkling in tune. They also have a bar there. It was really relaxing and pleasant to stay one night.

Cons:

The room was rather spartan.

We enjoyed our stay there and would certainly stay there again.
Pros:

The location was convenient for us - close enough to the town centre, but relatively quiet. The staff were very polite and helpful. Since we visited Kalimpong during a period of heavy rain and landslides, they gave us a lot of advice about which routes to take while travelling. They also arranged for a car to take us around Kalimpong one day and to Mongpu and Sittong for a half-day trip on another day.

Cons:

The room needed one or two cupboards to store clothes and other objects. There was only one large clothes-rack , but that was not enough.
